We loved our stay! This property was perfect for my husband and I for a quiet getaway. We were so excited to find this property to be pet friendly, too! The kitchen was well-stocked and the whole house had everything we needed. We enjoyed the wood-burning fireplace, as well as the deck.
The house has a great layout for families and the views from the patio are incredible for sunsets. Property company was very easy to work with and the whole process was smooth and stress free. Home was clean, well stocked, and had all the things we needed.
